صَبِّ الْمَاءِ عَلَى الْبَوْلِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ

Pouring water over urine in the mosque

قَامَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَبَالَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَتَنَاوَلَهُ النَّاسُ، فَقَالَ لَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " دَعُوهُ وَهَرِيقُوا عَلَى بَوْلِهِ سَجْلاً مِنْ مَاءٍ، أَوْ ذَنُوبًا مِنْ مَاءٍ، فَإِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُمْ مُيَسِّرِينَ، وَلَمْ تُبْعَثُوا مُعَسِّرِينَ ".

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ

Translation

Abu Hurairah reported: A Bedouin stood up and urinated in the mosque, and the people set upon him. The Prophet ﷺ said to them, “Leave him, and pour a bucket (sajl) of water over his urine – or: a bucket (dhanub) of water. For you have only been sent to make things easy, and you have not been sent to make things difficult.”

Translator’s note: Sajl and dhanub both denote a large bucket filled with water; the narrator was unsure which word was said.

Deutsch

Abu Huraira berichtete: Ein Beduine stand auf und urinierte in der Moschee, und die Leute gingen auf ihn los. Da sagte der Prophet ﷺ zu ihnen: „Lasst ihn und gießt über seinen Urin einen Eimer (Sadschl) Wasser – oder: einen Eimer (Dhanub) Wasser. Denn ihr seid nur gesandt worden, um es leicht zu machen, und ihr seid nicht gesandt worden, um es schwer zu machen.“

Translator’s note: Sadschl und Dhanub bezeichnen beide einen großen, mit Wasser gefüllten Eimer; der Überlieferer war unsicher, welches Wort gesagt wurde.

Türkçe

Ebû Hüreyre (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Bir bedevi kalkıp mescidde küçük abdestini bozdu. İnsanlar ona yüklendiler. Nebî ﷺ onlara şöyle buyurdu: “Onu bırakın ve idrarının üzerine bir kova (secl) su – veya: bir kova (zenûb) su – dökün. Çünkü siz ancak kolaylaştırıcılar olarak gönderildiniz, zorlaştırıcılar olarak gönderilmediniz.”

Translator’s note: Secl ve zenûb, su dolu büyük kova anlamına gelir; râvi hangi kelimenin söylendiğinden emin değildir.
